I've been perusing this book for a few days now and have had ample time to think about I believe it offers quite a bit of good advice for maybe tracking down some ancestors who have no info, or only a name. I've been told it is notoriously difficult tracking down women in the family as their names are seldom mentioned in documents- and for earliest documents, I've found that to be true. BUT there may be hope i finding them yet. This book has lots of suggestions and I love the fact that so much info is now available online to search! Its a goos start!
